Through the establishment of a formal relationship with the Ottawa Police Service and other community partners, this project will provide program services to about 75 Aboriginal youth, aged 12 to 17 years, that are in conflict with the law and who are involved or at risk of being involved in gang activities. The Wabano Way will offer programming such as mentorship, peer support, life skills development, cultural teaching, youth camps, employment readiness programming, homework and study skill clubs, and other crime prevention activities through presentations and social development strategies. At least 70% of referrals will be for youth referred post-charge either through the Police, Crown Attorney, probation services or the Ottawa Regional Detention Centre.
